at the top of the plane. Two particles A and B, of mass 2 kg and 4 kg respectively, are
attached to the ends of a light inextensible string which passes over the pulley P. The part
of the string from A to P is parallel to a line of greatest slope of the plane and B hangs
freely below P, as shown in Figure 2. The coefficient of friction between A and the plane

Figure 4

A truck of mass 1750 kg is towing a car of mass 750 kg along a straight horizontal road.
The two vehicles are joined by a light towbar which is inclined at an angle  to the road,
as shown in Figure 4. The vehicles are travelling at 20 m s1 as they enter a zone where
the speed limit is 14 m s1. The trucks brakes are applied to give a constant braking force
on the truck. The distance travelled between the instant when the brakes are applied and
the instant when the speed of each vehicle is 14 m s1 is 100 m.

(a) Find the deceleration of the truck and the car.

(3)

The constant braking force on the truck has magnitude R newtons. The truck and the
car also experience constant resistances to motion of 500 N and 300 N respectively.
Given that cos  = 0.9, find

(b) the force in the towbar,

(4)

(c) the value of R.

Figure 5

A uniform rod AB has length 2 m and mass 50 kg. The rod is in equilibrium in a horizontal
position, resting on two smooth supports at C and D, where AC = 0.2 metres and
DB = x metres, as shown in Figure 5. Given that the magnitude of the reaction on the rod
at D is twice the magnitude of the reaction on the rod at C,

(a) find the value of x.

(6)

The support at D is now moved to the point E on the rod, where EB = 0.4 metres. A
particle of mass m kg is placed on the rod at B, and the rod remains in equilibrium in a
horizontal position. Given that the magnitude of the reaction on the rod at E is four times
the magnitude of the reaction on the rod at C,

(b) find the value of m.
